National Policy Interface
- Priority Sector Lending (PSL) is vital for establishing effective monitoring mechanisms for subsectors and green loan provisions, promoting transparency. Overcoming challenges involves introducing provisions for tagging loans for green activities and implementing RBI-led green credits mapping, encouraging widespread adoption by financial institutions.
- Integration of crop loans with insurance provides guarantees, addressing regulatory issues.
- To strengthen the limited attention to women farmers, PSL can incentivize women-led agri-businesses and provide training and technology access.
- Providing farmers with bundled services (including credit, insurance, and benefits from various government schemes) through a single window will ease access to basic services for farmers.
